Died today in Italy from the virus . These young kids think it is a joke. Italy is way smaller than the USA. I sure hope It doesn't get that bad here.

    You are 11 maybe 12 days ahead of Italy.


    What can you do to stay ahead of the curve?

    Chicago, NYC, San Fransisco and any large cities will be hot spots. I don't think America is ready for this.

    Read a few minutes ago that most of those who died in Italy had preexisting medical conditions.

    The biggest issue, is going to be when hospitals get overrun with people who suffer more severely from this illness.....than you have to go in for an emergency appendectomy.....only they don't have the room or staff to properly care for you and than you die.

    I hope this turns out for the better, but as the old saying goes...."Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst."

    It is going to happen here they way things are currently being done.  Let tell you what happened to us yesterday.

    My wife had head congestion and a cough because she is diabetic and had high blood pressure she has to take a special type of cough syrup.  She took the wrong type of cough syrup and had to go to the DR because her BP was getting out of control.

    DR says she should be tested for COVID 19 because of cough, cough and elevated temp of 100.  Clinic does not have any test kits.  They told the wife she would have to be tested at ER but don’t go there because you will get the virus for sure.

    This whole thing is so screwed up by the government that you may see the numbers like the rest of the world.

    Why hasn’t the NG been activated with field hospitals that can be used isolate and test potential carriers.

    Italy has a very large percentage of elderly folks, and a very high percentage of smokers in its population.
    It's not a fair comparison of population stats.

    Yep, cities are going to get hit HARD.  Too many folks racked and stacked in too small of an area.
